It's not on their website yet, nor is it on NBC 10's site (or if it is, it's as hidden as the rest of their political reporting), but SurveyUSA has released it's latest poll. Josh at FFR215 has all of the numbers so I'll let you click over to him to check that out (and one of our commenters posted them too if you care to find it) but I'll just say that it appears folks are coming around on this Nutter guy.
I continue to express reservations about the accuracy of the SurveyUSA poll due to the recorded-voice, push-button-answering method of the poll. But I guess if you just stick to comparing numbers across time for the same poll instead of across different polls, you can get some idea of how support for a candidate is moving. Polls are just a snapshot, though, and it remains to be seen what the picture will look like in two weeks from today.

All polls should be taken with a grain of salt, but they do seem to show Nutter emerging as the viable alternative to Knox. Combine the poll numbers with Nutter's impressive fund raising and it almost makes me think Philly really could elect the smartest guy of the bunch. How refreshing would that be...

The latest SurveyUSA poll has Knox with 29 percent and Nutter surging into second with 27 percent, 13 points better than the last poll for NBC10.

I find it ironic that an Evans guy is posting about Nutter not being able to win :-D

All polls have some flaws but this is the third straight poll that has shown Nutter doing much better so I would have to believe that there is a real trend here. If Nutter beefs up his support amongst blacks he is in there. He probably only needs 15% of the black vote to get elected.
